Hey dogster, are you home or travelling now? Brad's big birthday bash is in BKK on the 23rd of this month. If you're around, we'd love to see you there. I promise a good time. Lars and Ken will be there.

You are staying at the Hyatt near Boudnath, isn't that right? There is a Le Meridien Gokarna Forest. It's very near Kathmandu, and was the hunting preserve for the Royal Family. There is now a golf course there. It would be a different setting than other hotels in the area.

I haven't stayed there, but we drove by the turn-off for it, and it looked lovely and green.

I stayed there three days. The food is apalling - as is the service. You are trapped. It's a long way from anywhere. They will put you in a crap room. The only good rooms are at the top, up 1,000 stairs. They have monkeys.
